S490 Skid Steer Loader – Fast Wheel Loader for Paved Sites
T480 Skid Steer Loader
The T480 skid steer loader is a compact tracked loader designed for tight sites and tough ground.
Triangular rubber tracks give strong grip on soil, gravel and slopes, while protecting lawns and pavers.
The hydraulic system is smooth and fast, and the high-efficiency oil cooler keeps performance stable in summer heat.
You can choose gasoline/utility engines or keep it quiet with a lithium-electric option.
Controls are simple dual joysticks, so new operators learn the T480 skid steer loader in minutes.
With the optional self-balancing arm, the bucket stays level while lifting—less spill, cleaner loading, higher safety.

Operator Control Panel
- The T480 skid steer loader uses a simple twin-lever layout with clear gauges.
- Start/stop, throttle and work lights are grouped, so the operator keeps eyes on the job.
- New users can run the loader safely after a short briefing.
Track System Detail
- Triangular rubber tracks spread weight over a long contact patch.
- This gives calm travel on rough ground and strong climbing on ramps.
- Low ground pressure means fewer ruts and less site repair after work.
Loader Bucket Detail
- A deep, reinforced bucket carries more material and dumps cleanly.
- The straight cutting edge helps cut into piles and finish grading.
- Bolt-on wear edge is available to extend life on abrasive surfaces.
Engine & Hydraulics Detail
- Clean hose routing and guarded connectors reduce leaks and damage.
- The high-efficiency oil cooler holds temperature steady for consistent joystick feel.
- Service points are high and dry, so daily checks take only minutes.
